  At least 8,000 Jewish soldiers fought for the Union and Confederacy during the Civil War. A few served together in Jewish companies while most fought alongside Christian comrades. Yet even as they stood 'shoulder-to-shoulder' on the front lines, they encountered unique challenges. This title assembles scholarship on Jews and the Civil War.
